I love that you use sarcasm and general pissiness to convey your anger, I do that too. I had one of those long ass questionnaire things come my way too and I thought the same thing as PJM, "omg, I have four kids and uh, hello? NO TIME to answer your precious questionnaire!" I can tell the emails I get to review stuff that are sent from companies who think since I'm a mom I'm none too bright and must be spoonfed tapioca. DELETE! I'm thinking instead, I'll reply to those inquiries for my review services with a link to your post! Most excellent points!

Once I realized how unethical every corner of J&J is I quit using their products. And on top of that seriously....you cannot have pets and use cosmetics that aren't cruelty-free and as organic as possible. We MOMS need to start putting our money where our mouths are!

When a friend (who is attending) asked me if I heard about this Baby Camp, I was totally confused. Really? What is that? They what? Won't let breastfeeding women attend? While I most definitely would have enjoyed going to New York, I can't say I'd feel comfortable having people pitch me their products (and want me to give them advertising) for a weekend...

I'm an E List blogger. I barely get any readers and don't even register on the blogosphere radar. I would love to know what it's like to be contacted by a PR company, period, much less invited to a conference. I was bummed out I didn't get invited to Camp Baby because I'm a mommy vlogger and produce a video show for moms on my blog. I'd be the IDEAL mom to target. Video!! Or maybe not, since I have such a small following. I’m not even a D List blogger. I’m an E List blogger. I barely get any readers and don’t even register on the blogosphere radar.
